I welcome any new ideas in the area of addiction. I'm sorry we didn't give you a better reception. I think Dr. Bob explains it in terms of online large group dynamics. The pressure builds, there's an eruption of negativity, then calm followed by the cycle repeating itself. (I probably just explained how my mind works)
My life is a 3-ring circus of addictions and I'm game to try almost anything. I've tried numerous alternative therapies and the shock box idea sounds strangely appealing to me. I'm not into pain especially but I have a history of self-injury and still take ice-cold showers every day.
But how will I use it if I've quit drinking? I don't want to resume drinking just to counter-condition it. Perhaps I could use the box for over-eating and other excesses typical of borderline personality disorder.
